NAME OF APPLICANT: CITY OF BATON ROUGE, c/o GeoEngineers, Inc., 11955 Lakeland Park Blvd Suite 100, Baton Rouge, LA 70809, Attn: Brandon Muller.

LOCATION OF WORK: Road extension between Jefferson Highway and Airline Highway in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, within East Baton Rouge Parish, within the Lake Pontchartrain Basin in hydrologic unit (HUC 08070202), as shown on the attached drawings.

CHARACTER OF WORK: The applicant has requested a Department of the Army authorization to clear, grade, excavate and deposit fill and/or aggregate material to construct and maintain a roadway/highway extension between Airline and Jefferson Highway in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The project is proposed to alleviate localized traffic. Approximately 0.61 acre of wetlands will be cleared and filled for the construction of the highway extension. Secondary impacts to wetlands are expected to be minimal with required best management practices to reduce runoff and erosion.

The applicant claims that the project has minimal impacts to isolated wetland pockets existing between Airline and Jefferson Highway. The wetlands are not of high value given their isolation and location within a highly commercial area. Impacts to wetlands were minimized to the maximum practicable degree.
